Ganja in Johor Bahru, Malaysia - ma story

Hi, folks! Today I plan to share my rasta-experience after visiting infinite party Johor Bahru in Malaysia. Brief conclusion - for some reason it’s not easy to get really good🍀cannabis buds or hash in Johor Bahru in an “oldschool way”, but options do exist. Below I describe what is going on with weed in Johor Bahru.

I just got back from Johor Bahru a week ago, now smoking a big joint of pineapple weed strain, reminding me of that cool time I had in Johor Bahru — thanks in part to the weed that accompanied me on my adventures.

What Are the Rules About Weed in Johor Bahru?

In Johor Bahru, weed with a lot of a special component called THC (the stuff that makes you feel high) is not allowed. You can’t just go to a store and buy it like in some other countries. There’s also a kind of weed that doctors can give to sick people, but it doesn’t make you feel high like the other kind.

When I was in Johor Bahru, I met a local guy named Olaf who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Johor Bahru. He told me that even though the rules are strict, the police aren’t always super strict about it, especially with visitors.

How the Cannabis Law Is Enforced in Johor Bahru

Technically, any cannabis product with more than 1% THC is illegal in Johor Bahru. However, Olaf explained that the police tend to be relatively relaxed when it comes to cannabis in Johor Bahru, especially with tourists.

If you’re caught with a small amount — less than 10 grams of weed or 5 grams of hash — you’re unlikely to face serious consequences. The police might confiscate your weed, but it’s unlikely you’ll get into much trouble as long as you’re discreet.

So where do smokers purchase weed in Johor Bahru?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Johor Bahru because of Olaf, he told me how everything works (and not only with cannabis).

Usually high-level dealers purchase stuff on wholesale darknet websites. Theoretically you may also go through all the nightmare of using darknet websites to get your stuff delivered in several days or even weeks. Website thehiddenwiki.com has all the links you may need to order stuff in the darknet using Tor browser and crypto, but this method usually works if you need a lot of stuff and have time (several days) to wait for the delivery.

Usually, locals already buy weed by talking to dealers they trust through messages like Telegram or Signal with payment via cryptocurrency. Then, the weed is left in a secret spot where they can pick it up without meeting the seller in person. This is new secured way of cannabis delivery used in Johor Bahru.

Attitude of Johor Bahru locals to weed

You already know that good non-medical marijuana with high % THC is not something you can officially buy in a branded cannabis shop in Johor Bahru, but this does not mean locals are too much against weed 😃. Youngsters and students are definitely those who share their love of cannabis and welcome new smokers in their circles. They can not imagine a good party without having a joint or two, while it’s hard to join them if you are already a “25+ old man”.

In general smoking some occasional joint after a long working week is a pleasant tradition among many people in Johor Bahru, so no one will point fingers at you seeing how you are smoking weed, but better to avoid doing this publicly just not to bring useless attention.

As I was actively asking and discussing weed - Olaf invited me to his apartment for a small party that very first evening - just a couple of his rasta friends, beer, weed and PS5 - exactly what I do love😁😁😁. How lucky I was😁 Olaf told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Johor Bahru so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

Olaf also confirmed locals are OK with weed in Johor Bahru if you behave yourself correctly, while it’s better to avoid cops and not to have more than 10 grams in your pocket.

Question / Answer session about marijuana in Johor Bahru

Is high % THC weed forbidden in Johor Bahru?

Yes, non-medical cannabis is regulated and restricted in Johor Bahru, while police is relaxed about marijuana and having less than 10 grams with you should not result in imprisoning anything serious.

Anyway what if you get caught with some THC cannabis product in Johor Bahru?

Depends on the situation, but if officers think you are a drug dealer for some reason who delivers stuff - you should get punished problems. In general tourists with small amounts of hash or weed are not touched at all, only dealers with large amounts.

Can I find weed in Johor Bahru in some oldschool way?

Of course you can! While sniffing dark streets / parks and pinging taxi drivers is an outdated approach for searching marijuana already - a big bunch of dealers migrated to online sales via messengers and crypto, but hustling parks and central streets in searches for weed may still give you some successful results.

Is high-quality cannabis and hash available in Johor Bahru?

Yes, it’s available while quality varies between dealers.

Can you find hash in Johor Bahru?

Yes, many dealers offer both weed and hash. It’s not always in stock, but it’s popular and available.

What are the prices for cannabis and hash in Johor Bahru?

Prices vary depending on the dealer and the quality. High-quality weed can cost $20-$25 per gram, while hash might be $30-$35 per gram. The more you buy, the better the deal you’ll get.

That’s the rundown on cannabis in Johor Bahru. If you’re planning a trip, stay safe, be smart, and enjoy your time in this vibrant city!
